Buddenbrooks The Decline of a Family

"The fact that the reviewer finds so many questions forced upon him is evidence of the vitality of 'Buddenbrooks' as a piece of literature. That the narrative has greatness cannot be denied. In the last analysis, 'Buddenbrooks' is immature. But now that the story has been translated and made available to the American reader he will be unwise to let slip the opportunity to become acquainted with a work to which Europe has granted so much praise."Mann, Thomas is the author of 'Buddenbrooks The Decline of a Family', published 1994 under ISBN 9780679752608 and ISBN 0679752609.
